They are grouped according to the quantities on which they explicitly depend. Additionally, the approximations for quantities related to T s [ρ] kinetic potential and non-additive kinetic energy), for which the analytic expressions for the parent approximation for the functional T s [ρ] are unknown, are also given. Contents 16.1 Notation and conventions Known exact functionals Local density approximation LDA Gradient expansion approximation GEAn Generalized gradient approximation GGA Other semilocal approximations N- andr-dependent approximations Miscellaneous References Notation and conventions Atomic units [m e = e = =1/4πε 0 ) = 1] are used in all formulas. The notation for functions and constants that will be used throughout the text is the following: ρ = ρr) the electron density. s = ρ / 2 3π 2) ) 1/3 ρ 4/3 the dimensionless reduced density gradient. x =5/27) s 2 a quantity proportional to the square of s. C F =3/10) 3π 2) 2/ the Thomas-Fermi constant. 429

The analytic expressions of the non-interacting kinetic-energy functionals T s [ρ] will be given for the spin-compensated case ρ = ρ ). For spin-polarized electron densities, the corresponding expression for T s [ρ,ρ ] can be easily obtained by applying the extension formula of Oliver and Perdew: 1 T s [ρ,ρ ]= 1 2 T s[2ρ ]+T s [2ρ ]) ) The labels used for the approximations reflect the name given by the authors, the most common convention used in the literature, or the names of the authors Known exact functionals For two types of systems, the exact analytic form of T s [ρ] isknown: Thomas and Fermi: 2,3 TF [ρ] =C F ρ 5/3 r)d 3 r ) The Thomas-Fermi functional 2,3 is exact for the homogeneous electron gas. Applying it for inhomogeneous systems leads to an approximation known as the Thomas-Fermi functional or the local density approximation LDA) functional. von Weizsäcker: 4 W [ρ] = 1 2 ρr) d 3 r ) 8 ρr) This functional is exact for one-electron and spin-compensated two-electron systems. Applying it for other systems leads to an approximation known as the von Weizsäcker functional Local density approximation LDA The label LDA is sometimes used in a more general way for any approximation which depends solely on the electron density like the TF functional [Eq )]. In addition to TF, a few such functionals were proposed in the literature. GaussianLDA Lee and Parr: 5 GaussianLDA [ρ] = 3π 2 5/3 ρ 5/3 r)d 3 r )

3 Semilocal Approximations for the Kinetic Energy 431 Note that the coefficient 3π/2 5/ is about 3% larger than the coefficient C F of the TF functional [Eq )]. ZLP Fuentealba and Reyes: 6 ) 1/3 ZLP [ρ] =c 1 ρ 5/3 ρr) r) 1 c 2 ln c 2 ρr) 2 ) 1/3 d 3 r ) where c 1 = and c 2 = It was constructed following the conjointness conjecture 7 applied to the ZLP 8 approximation for the exchange-correlation energy. Note that in Eq. 9) in Ref. 6 the symbol ρ should be replaced by ρ σ for the given coefficients. For the numerical verification see Ref. 9. LP97 Liu and Parr: 10 T LP97 s [ρ] = ρ 5/3 r)d 3 r ) 2 ρ 4/3 r)d 3 r ρ 11/9 r)d 3 r) ) Note that the coefficient in front of the third term was given incorrectly in Ref Gradient expansion approximation GEAn The gradient expansion approximation GEA) until the nth order: n n GEAn [ρ] = T s,i [ρ] = t i ρr), ρr),...) d 3 r ) i=0 i=0 where only the terms for i even are non-zero. The analytical form of the terms up to i = 6 have been derived: t 0 = t TF = C F ρ 5/ ) t 2 = 1 9 tw = 1 ρ ) 72 ρ t 4 = 3π2 ) 2/3 ρ 1/3 2 ) 2 ) ρ 9 2 ρ ρ ρ 8 ρ ρ ρ 4 3 ρ ) ) 3π 2 4/3 t 6 = ρ 13 1/3 2 ρ ) ρ ) 3 ρ ρ 2 4 ρ 144 ρ 16 ρ 2 ρ ρ 2 2 ) 2 ρ 18 ρ ρ 2 ρ 2 ρ ) ρ 36 ρ 2 ρ ) ) 2 ρ ρ 18 ρ ρ ρ 4 72 ρ ρ ρ ρ )

4 432 F. Tran & T. A. Wesolowski These terms were obtained by various authors: t 0 by Thomas and Fermi, 2,3 t 2 by Kompaneets and Pavlovskii 11 and by Kirzhnits, 12 t 4 by Hodges, 13 and t 6 by Murphy. 14 t 2 and t 4 were obtained after integration by part of 15,16 t J 2 = 1 ρ 2 72 ρ t J 4 = 3π2 ) 2/3 ρ 1/ ρ ) 12 4 ρ 2 ρ ) 2 ) 2 ρ 2 ρ 2) 30 ρ ρ ρ ρ ρ 2 ρ 2 2 ρ ρ ρ 3 ρ 2) ρ 3 48 ρ 4 ρ ) respectively. Choosing n = 0, 2, and 4 in Eq ) leads to approximations with the following labels: GEA0 which is just the TF functional [Eq )], GEA2 which is also denoted with TF 1 9W, and GEA Generalized gradient approximation GGA The general form of GGA functionals reads GGA [ρ] = f ρr), ρr) ) d 3 r = C F ρ 5/3 r)f sr))d 3 r ) where F s) is the so-called enhancement factor. The enhancement factor of the von Weizsäcker functional [Eq )] is given by F W s) = 5 3 s ) while for the GEA truncated at the 0th and 2nd orders [Eqs ) )], the enhancement factors are F GEA0 s) = ) F GEA2 s) = s ) respectively. A large group of approximations in the GGA family were constructed following the conjointness conjecture of Lee, Lee, and Parr 7 according to which the enhancement factor of an exchange GGA functional can be used with possible reoptimization of the free coefficients) for the kinetic energy. The following convention is used for labeling the conjoint functionals: if not only the analytic form but also the free coefficients are the same as in the exchange functional, then the functional is called conjoint X, where X stands for the name of the parent exchange functional. In the case of reoptimization of the coefficients, the standard convention applies see Sec. 16.1).

5 Semilocal Approximations for the Kinetic Energy 433 TFλW The functionals in this family differ only in the value of the constant λ: TFλW [ρ] = TF [ρ]+λ W [ρ] ) GEA0 and GEA2 correspond to λ =0and1/9, respectively. Other values of λ were proposed in the literature, e.g., λ =1.290/9 modified 2nd order gradient expansion proposed by Lee et al. 17 ). See Ref. 18 for a compilation of the different values of λ proposed in the literature. The enhancement factor of the TFλW functional is F TFλW s) =1+λ 5 3 s ) P82 Pearson: 19 F P82 s) =1+ 5 s s ) DKPadé DePristo and Kress: 20 F DKPadé x) = x x x x x x x ) LLP Lee, Lee, and Parr: 7 F LLP s) = b 2 s bs arcsinhbs) ) This is the enhancement factor of the exchange functional B88 of Becke 21 refitted for the kinetic energy.

The correctness of the coefficients given here was confirmed by numerical values of T s [ρ] The correct scaling properties of T s [ρ] require that the coefficient in front of the last terms in OL1 and OL2 are not free but must be non-negative.
